Hi,

I am trying to get my raster data into 1 km by 1 km cell size. I know how to resize the cells with resample but I am unsure what size equals this resolution. Does this depend on my projection? I am using NAD 83 UTM Zone 12. Would each "1" unit of cell equal one meter? And then I would only need to use 1000 for my cell size? Or is my thinking way off?

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Greetings,

The cell size unit is directly related to the units associated with the coordinate system.  So if you are using UTM zone 12 with units of meters, then you need a cell size of 1000 to achieve 1km resolution.

Best,
Eric
